Just because you can choose two songs that are polar opposites doesn't mean that the two musicians are not unarguably similar. They are. By your logic no two rappers can be compared to one another. In fact, apparently I couldn't even say that Kweli is similar to...Kweli. Listen to "Guerilla Monsoon Rap", and then listen to "Joy". They sound nothing alike. The subject matter in Kweli's and Kanye's songs are essentially identical. Religion, politics, marijuana, etc.
I was simply stating that the style that each individual uses are incredibly different.
Kanye can be described as a "bubblegum rapper", he's more of the Fresh Prince of today,
with Talib being Big Daddy Kane.
